FURTHER STUDIES OF TESTIS CYTOLOGY IN MICE IRRADIATED WITH 2450-MHZ MICROWAVES
Authors not listed
Study found no testicular damage from 2450 MHz microwave exposure in mice, the same frequency used in kitchen microwaves.
Plain English Summary
This study examined the effects of 2450 MHz microwave radiation on testicular cells and sperm development in laboratory mice. Researchers analyzed cellular changes in reproductive tissue following microwave exposure. The study appears to have found no significant effects on testicular function or sperm production.

Study Details
To investigate the effects of microwave irradiation on testis cyto1ogy in mice, comparing responses to microwave exposure and heat exposure.
Male mice, 10 to 12 weeks old, were housed overnight in an anechoic chamber and exposed to 2450 MHz ...
Neither of the two microwave-irradiated groups showed any effect on sperm count or percent abnormal ...
Microwave exposure at 2450 MHz did not produce any significant effects on sperm count or percent abnormal sperm in mice. The testis showed no response to microwave exposure similar to that seen with heat exposure. The results suggest that the B6C3F1 mouse strain is not particularly susceptible to microwave damage, and that the testis may not be a critical organ for limiting microwave exposure.
